When Russians at the Internet Research Agency interfered in U.S. politics, they created false online personas and fake political groups to amplify divisive messages that already had a homegrown American audience. It’s not too far from what some U.S. political consultants are doing themselves.[COLOR=#000000]

This was not necessary. Hillary Clinton was the perfect candidate to nominate against Donald Trump for the 2016 general election. So, this controlling measure—an attempt to malign and/or silence dissent—was not needed. It is weird how so many, especially insiders like Sally Albright, had so much confidence that Hillary Clinton was the right candidate for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, yet some behaviors (including Albright’s) were in contradiction to that confidence. There was no reason to feel insecure about Hillary Clinton. (She won the U.S. Popular Vote.)

Skip to 1:13:05 for the most interesting part. But if you want other details:

You may start at 32:00

Quote:

Well I would have to say no. [America] did not deserve [President Trump].

I agree. Too bad she made it possible.

At 34:29

Quote:

“You know, if people were looking for the reality TV campaign, maybe I should have given them more entertainment. You know, I’m the mother who says eat your spinach so you grow up strong and somebody else is saying eat all the fast food and ice cream you can possibly stick in your mouth. And all of a sudden I’m thinking wait a minute, maybe I’m running a campaign like all the other campaigns I have been a part of and he is doing something entirely different, which is this reality TV campaign. Fascinating and it’s something that will come to a democracy near you at some point. And voters have to be prepared to say, ‘OK that was entertaining. Wow, couldn’t take my eyes off him, but what is he really going to do and what has he ever done that convinces me he could actually accomplish any of it?’ So it’s going to require a lot more—a much more sophisticated analysis by voters if this trend goes from our 2016 campaign.”

Too bad that 62,984,825 or 46% of fellow voting Americans are at fault for not being smart enough or sophisticated enough to vote whom she believed is the best candidate-herself. It's surprising though that she did not mention the vast right wing conspiracy for what happened.

Go to 38:55

Quote:

"[If one looks at] the map of the United States, there is all that red in the middle where Trump won. I win the coast. I win Illinois, Minnesota, places like that. But what the map doesn't show you is that I won the places that represent two-thirds of America's Gross Domestic Product. So I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward. And his whole campaign, 'Make America Great Again,' was looking backward. You know you didn't like black people getting rights. You didn't like women getting jobs. You don't want to see that Indian American succeeding more than you are. Whatever your problem is, I am going to solve it. So it was a symptom. But it was also a cause because, having someone run for president, who voices those ideas, who rejects so much of the American story, and our values, was also the underlying cause as well."

Her Basket of Deplorables 2.0 plus plus plus. You have to hand it her. She surely has a wide vocabulary of words to describe fellow Americans who chose not to vote for her. In case it slips her mind, she almost lost Minnesota, Maine and New Hampshire. The thing is the states she lost were the states that voted for her husband Bill and former Pres. Obama. Also aren't Nikki Haley and Bobby Jindal from South Carolina and Louisiana respectively are Indian-Americans?

Another gem is 40:19

Quote:

“Democrats, going back to my husband and even before, but just in recent times going back to Bill and our candidates and then President Obama, have been losing the vote, including white women. We do not do well with white men and we don’t do well with married, white women. And part of that is an identification with the Republican Party, and a sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should. And what happened in my election I was on the way to winning white women until former director of the FBI Jim Comey dropped that very ill-advised letter on October 28th and my number just went down. And I heard a lot of anecdotal evidence about this and may people have written about it. All of a sudden white women, who were going to vote for me and frankly standing up to the men in their lives and the men in their workplaces, were being told, ‘She's going to jail. You don't want to vote for her. It's terrible, you can't vote for that.' So, it just stopped my momentum and it decreased my vote enough because I was ahead. I was winning, and I thought I had fought my way back in the ten days from that letter until the election. I fell a little bit short."

That's your feminist, ladies and gentlemen. It seems she love strong women. Just not those women who are strong enough not to vote for her. Well, as what Madeleine Albright says, there is a special place in hell for them. I can just imagine the reaction if the Deplorable-in-Chief “tweeted” that the reason a woman — any woman — did not vote for him is because she is not capable of making her own decisions because she is a woman. It also makes me wonder whether majority of white women who after hearing this statement have any regrets of not voting for her.

“She put herself in a position where [Democrats] from states that Trump won will have to distance themselves from her even more,” said one former senior Clinton aide. “That’s a lot of states.”

Another Clinton surrogate questioned the decision making behind Clinton’s remarks. For months, some Democrats have been arguing that Clinton’s sentiments have been counterproductive to the party’s rebuilding efforts. And some have told her she should emulate former President Obama’s model to only make statements when it’s essential.

...

“She’s annoying me. She’s annoying everyone, as far as I can tell,” said one 2016 Clinton surrogate. “Who lets her say these things?”

One former senior Obama White House aide added, “If these statements are a form of catharsis, it would be in the Democratic Party’s best interest for her to get these out of her system soon.”

“We need leaders like her to look forward to 2020 and how to unify the party, not continue to re-litigate the past.”

I would like to know if Bush Sr, Dole, Gore, McCain and Romney have acted the way Hillary Clinton is acting when they lost their elections. I will not be surprised that the Republican National Committee will be using Hillary's words in their advertisements in the 2018 Midterm elections.

...Since the beginning..this is what has bothered me the most.....

During his time in Russia, Trump would demonstrate his affinity for the nation’s authoritarian leader with flattering and fawning tweets and remarks that were part of a long stretch of comments suggesting an admiration for Putin. Trump’s curious statements about Putin—before, during, and after this Moscow jaunt—would later confound US intelligence officials, members of Congress, and Americans of various political inclinations, even Republican Party loyalists.

What could possibly explain Trump’s unwavering sympathy for the Russian strongman? His refusal to acknowledge Putin’s repressive tactics, his whitewashing of Putin’s abuses in Ukraine and Syria, his dismissal of the murders of Putin’s critics, his blind eye to Putin’s cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns aimed at subverting Western democracies?

Trump’s brief trip to Moscow held clues to this mystery. His two days there would later become much discussed because of allegations that he engaged in weird sexual antics while in Russia—claims that were not confirmed. But this visit was significant because it revealed what motivated Trump the most: the opportunity to build more monuments to himself and to make more money. Trump realized he could attain none of his dreams in Moscow without forging a bond with the former KGB lieutenant colonel who was the president of Russia.

This trek to Russia was the birth of a bromance—or something darker—that would soon upend American politics and then scandalize Trump’s presidency. And it began in the most improbable way—as the brainstorm of a hustling music publicist trying to juice the career of a second-tier pop singer

It is just refreshing to have him admit it out in the open, I guess.

Wed, 14 Mar 2018 06:42:01 GMTThe margin is extremely narrow, so narrow that with only a couple thousand ballots not yet counted (mostly absentee ballots), NBC won't even claim the winner yet. However, the Republican (Saccone) would need to pull off a mathematical miracle to get to the top.

PENNSYLVANIA 18th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT - another obviously-gerrymandered one (in favor of Republicans!), includes Pittsburgh west and southeast suburbs, and nearly everything southwest of Pittsburgh. Donald Trump won the district by something like 20 points, but now the votes stand at...

CONOR LAMB (D) 113,111
RICK SACCONE (R) 112,582

Commentators already commented that absentee ballots, already all counted in two of the four counties, are even more Democrat-leaning.

That after President Chaos himself made a visit there to Moon Township (i.e. PIT airport) to try to get Saccone elected. Clearly it didn't help.

Ironically, this 18th District is highly unlikely to even exist in its current form, when the November elections come, because there is a court order for districts to be redrawn to be less partisan.

My first reaction was "They're really getting bold!", but this isn't the first time Russia has done something like this -- they used plutonium last time, IIRC.

A talking head on the radio said all of NATO should back Prime Minister May on this. Does anyone think that would actually do any good? Russia is already paranoid (though not without excuse).

It is a full hour episode of Frontline, covering the 1994 trial of an insane young man who entered a lecture hall in SUNY and held the room captive and finally shot a student twice who rushed him to take the rifle away.

He was fully psychotic both at the time and subsequently, yet the legal system was so structured that he was able to be prosecuted and convicted of the crimes.

It does not address the surrounding questions such as the intentional abuse of the insanity defense, but it certainly serves to give a good grounding of what the insanity defense was meant to recognize, but failed to do so.

Of course, those who insist on stereotypes will want to note this happened in the godforsaken backwater of the US known as Albany, NY.

3. Significantly weakening mortgage protections for numerous homebuyers, especially those buying manufactured homes and those who are customers of banks with less than 10 billion dollars in assets

4. Weakening protections against racial discrimination in credit markets by vastly expanding exemptions from the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), the key source of public information about lending discrimination

1. Section 101 expands an exemption from the CFPB’s “qualified mortgage” rule for truly small lenders that hold loans in portfolio, applying it to institutions holding up to $10 billion in assets;

2. Section 103 exempts lenders from appraisal requirements for many rural loans when the loan is below $400,000 in home value, eliminating a vital protection for buyers and lenders alike;

3. Section 107 exempts manufactured-home retailers and their employees from anti-steering protections that apply to other mortgage originators (loan officers and mortgage brokers), and replaces them with substantially weaker protections;

4. Section 109 expands an exemption that allows lenders to avoid escrowing taxes and insurance for many higher-cost, higher-risk loans, making it less likely that borrowers will be able to meet recurring costs of homeownership; and

5. Section 110 eliminates the requirement of a three-day wait period on mortgage disclosures in cases where the lender offers a new interest rate, giving borrowers less time to examine whether other loan terms have also been changed in the process.

With these 17 Democrats voting with Republicans for cloture, only 50 votes plus Vice President Pence's vote is needed to pass this bill that will deregulate Banks once more when it comes to a final vote in the Senate. Of course, would the House of Representatives passage be far behind and more so the Deplorable-in-Chief's signature?

Could someone provide a very good reason why these 17 Democrats voted for this monstrosity? Give us progressive activists reasons to believe and have faith that the establishment within the Democratic are not pro-deregulation and pro-corporate welfare. Explain to us progressive activists on how the Senate Democrats who voted on this Senate bill once enacted will help their middle and working class constituents in Alabama, Colorado, Delaware, Indiana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Virginia, West Virginia, Maine, Montana, Michigan and Florida.

We, Progressives, will not take this sitting down. We will not rest until we take over the Democratic Party and cut its strings from its Big Money donors. No more deregulation, corporate welfare and other regressive policies. It's time to bring the Democratic Party back to its Progressive roots once more that brought Medicare, Glass-Steagall, Head Start, SNAP, Social Security, Voting Rights Act, Civil Rights Act into this great nation.

Why is Canada able to be the leading steel manufacturer/supplier to the US if the US isn't able to compete with China, etc.?

None of the reporters seem to be asking this fundamental and critical question. American rust belt promoters continually carp about unfair competition from subsidized Chinese steel, but no one is accusing Canada.

What seems evident is that Canada is able to produce steel and compete whereas the US is not.

More irksome is the pattern of bad journalism, and my network of choice, NPR, is just as guilty as any other about either letting the interviewee get a free pass when making biased assertions, or it endorses a slant by the question chosen.

Does anyone know how Canada is successful in what America claims it cannot do, compete with subsidized steel?

Safety concerns and disruption of the curriculum were cited as reasons for the prohibition.

After the announcement, the initial (relatively small) group of students who had indicated their intention to participate in the walkout were joined by most other students, leaving school officials with the prospect of suspending about 85 percent of the students.

Official policy has adapted to allow the walkout, but to provide heavy police security during the time students are outside. Student organizers think officials are using the safety concern to divert from the fact that those officials don’t want the students to stand up for gun law reform.

(What percentage of his base think that the Access Hollywood tape is FAKE, especially now that he actually denied it a few months ago? I bet a high percentage.)

They HEARD him say this, and they're not going to forget, and a stupid denial just won't cut it.

Wed, 28 Feb 2018 01:33:19 GMTIn discussions about guns, there's always the claim that we don't dare arm people for self-defense because someone MIGHT pop off and start shooting people, and/or that the sight of guns will make people panic so they can't think straight. But these make me think of this:

or this:

or this:

or similar ones from Switzerland, with people carrying actual military rifles in public.

Plainly, in these countries people carry real military weapons -- not "military-like", but true assault rifles -- in public and people dn't freak out, they don't "pop off" and go on shooting rampages.

So why is it assumed that for the United States, allowing guns in public will cause mass hysteria and shut down people's cognitive abilities?
(especially when state after state has adopted "shall-issue" concealed carry licenses and the much-predicted waves of violence never happen)

Title VII of the...The Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled that Civil Rights Act of 1964 applies to anti-gay discrimination in the workplace. Title VII of the act forbids discrimination based on the sex of employees. Traditionally this has been seen as applying only to the employee's gender and not sexual orientation. The court's logic runs as follows:

If there are two employees, John and Mary who are same in all other respects. Add a third party love interest, Alice. If John loves Alice and the employer take no action against him but Mary loving Alice results in employer action against her because of the relationship. The court observed that the only difference in the examples is the gender of the employee and thus it is discrimination based on sex which is forbidden by Article VII of the act.

Trump's two dating sites, Trump.Dating and TrumpSingles, made headlines when it was (unsurprisingly) revealed that Trump.Dating allows married people to join but not gay people. Now, it's in the news for another reason: the face of the man on the site's homepage is that of convicted child molester Barrett Riddleberger.

Why is this not surprising at all?

It is like someone either put all of this together in order to troll Trump....or in Trump World, people actually do think that there are no consequences to behaviour.

The...Refusing to learn the lessons of 2016, the Democratic Party once again is tipping the scales to favor corporate candidates over progressive ones. The latest casualty is Laura Moser, a progressive running on the 7th district of Texas.

Quote:

The campaign arm of Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives set its sights on a surprising target Thursday: Democratic congressional hopeful Laura Moser.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee posted negative research on Moser, a Houston journalist vying against six other Democrats in the March 6 primary to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. John Culberson. Democrats locally and nationally have worried that Moser is too liberal to carry a race that has emerged in recent months as one of the most competitive in the country.

The DCCC posting, which features the kind of research that is often reserved for Republicans, notes that Moser only recently moved back to her hometown of Houston and that much of her campaign fundraising money has gone to her husband's political consulting firm. It also calls her a "Washington insider."

Washington insider?! Does the Democratic Party, a Washington-based entity itself, really now use that term as a smear? :rotflmao:

Also running is Lizzie Pannill Fletcher, a corporate lawyer who is backed by Houston mega-donor Sherry Merfish. EMILY’s List endorsed her in November.

The 7th District includes parts of Houston and its wealthy western suburbs, and Merfish and her husband, Gerald Merfish, are among the city’s leading philanthropists. Gerald Merfish owns and runs a steel pipe company in the oil-rich region and Sherry Merfish, who worked for decades for EMILY’s List, is a major donor to the Democratic Party and to EMILY’s List.

...

(Alex) Triantaphyllis, a former Goldman Sachs analyst who doesn’t live in the district, has the backing of some establishment elements of the party.

“Alex T has been open about being the chosen candidate of the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee],” said Daniel Cohen, president of Indivisible Houston, who is not endorsing any particular candidate. (The DCCC has not officially endorsed a candidate in the primary, though its support can come in less public ways.)

But girlfriend Laura is not the one to stepped onto. Girlfriend simply knows how to fight back. :luv:

Quote:

I’m a Democrat running for Congress. Why is the DCCC attacking me? There’s a reason more women, and mothers, don’t run for public office. It’s not just that the endless work-life balancing act really is a lot more complicated than our parents told us it would be when they said we could “do anything we want with our lives.”

It’s that many fear personal family attacks. Just like the kind I’ve received in the last 24 hours.

Last night, I was shocked to find myself the subject of an unprecedented attack by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). The basis was a single quote that was blatantly taken out of context — a silly joke twisted into a desperate, clumsy smear.

As this campaign has progressed, it has become clear that many of the bigwigs decided long ago who they wanted to represent you. They had narrowed it down to the same kinds of corporate candidates that they always run — with their ties to big banks, big law firms, and big money.

Let’s not lose sight of one obvious fact: Democrats have not been winning. We don’t control the White House. We don’t control the Senate. We don’t control the House of Representatives. We control fewer governorships and statehouses than in a generation. We’ve lost nearly a thousand seats in statehouses nationwide just in the last decade. We have not had a Democrat elected statewide in Texas since 1994. Is that because there is no constituency in Texas for our ideas, or is it because our party has forgotten how to reach those voters?

Go girl. They can never put a good man or in this case, a good woman down. :=D:

And this is coming from someone who is a sexist and misogynist bro. :rolleyes:

Rather than battling Republicans, many Progressives also have to battle the elites of the Democratic Party as well. But I have faith that with genuine grassroots support, we will win these these two-front battles in the mid-terms. The time for the Progressive takeover of the Democratic Party and bringing it back to its Progressive roots has begun and there's no turning back. As for the Corporate elites of the Democratic Party, they can enjoy their reign while it last. The twilight is upon them.

Nevermind, it's legal now even for recreational use, sorry that we broke up your families, made many of you unemployable and unable to vote and put you in tiny cages with murderers and rapists for years."

The city of Oakland (an epicenter of gang activity and drug trade) is turning the weed business over to men who have previously been convicted of being black with marijuana possession/distribution. I think it's a neat idea. Wiping their records would be cool also but this is America, we'll take what we can get. :rolleyes:
